நியூட்டன் மீது ஆப்பிள் போலே
பியூட்டியே நீ என்னில் விழுந்தாயே
கலந்தாயே......
பனியில் தோய்ந்த வெயிலை போலே
பாவை நீயும் என்னில் வளர்ந்தாயே....
நிறைந்தாயே....
Like the apple that fell on Newton,
You, beauty, fell into my life,
And merged with me!
Like sunshine soaked in dew,
You, my maiden, grew within me,
And filled my heart completely!
அடி கண்ணாடி முன்னாடி நின்றாடி
ஏன் தோழி சாயங்கள் பூசிகிறாய்
ஒரு சாயங்கள் சாரல்
உன் சாயங்கள் நீக்கும்போது
தேவதை போல் தோன்றினாய்
Hey girl, standing in front of the mirror,
Why do you paint yourself with colors, my friend?
When a shower of evening drizzle
Washes away your artificial colors,
You appeared just like an angel!
அடி எங்கேயும் எப்போதும்
கொஞ்சமும் இறங்காத
போதையை நீ தெளித்தாய்
உன் மத்தாப்பு பேச்சாலே
தித்திப்பு மூச்சாலே
தேனிசை வீசுகின்றாய்
Hey girl, everywhere and at all times,
An intoxication that never fades,
You have sprinkled upon me!
With your sparkler-like vibrant words,
And your sweet-scented breath,
You waft sweet honey-like music around!
என் ஜோடி நீ எட்டு வைக்க
எட்டு வழி சாலை போட்டு வைப்பேன்
கை ஓங்கியே யாரும் வந்தால்
கைது செய்வேன்
For you, my partner, to take steps forward,
I will build an eight-lane highway!
If anyone comes at you with raised hands,
I will arrest them!
என் ஜோடி நீ எட்டு வைக்க
எட்டு வழி சாலை போட்டு வைப்பேன்
கை ஓங்கியே யாரும் வந்தால்
கைது செய்வேன்
For you, my partner, to take steps forward,
I will build an eight-lane highway!
If anyone comes at you with raised hands,
I will arrest them!

இன்பா உன்னோடு பேசிட தோன்றும்
நெஞ்சில் வார்த்தை இல்லை
நண்பா உன்னோடு நடக்கிற போது
தெருவில் முடிவில்லை
Oh Inba, I feel like talking to you,
But words fail me in my heart.
My friend, when I walk alongside you,
The street seems to have no end.
உயிரை யாரும் தீண்டாத வரையில்
வாழ்வில் அர்த்தம் இல்லை
உன்னை சந்திக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும்
உலகம் பொய்யில்லை
Until someone truly touches one's soul,
Life holds no real meaning.
Every single moment I meet you,
The world feels true and real.
கொண்டாடினாலும் திண்டாடினாலும்
ஒன்றாக சேர்ந்தே உயிராடலாம்
தள்ளாடினாலும் துள்ளாடினாலும்
உன்னில் நான் என்னில் நீ
Whether we celebrate or struggle,
Let us stay together and live life dynamically.
Whether we stumble or leap with joy,
I am in you, and you are in me.
வெள்ளந்தி காதல்
பொன் அந்தி வானம்
ரெண்டுக்கும் இடையே நாம் வாழலாம்
எதிர்காலம் நாளை எதிரானபோதும்
பிரியாதே தொலையாதே....
Innocent love,
And a golden evening sky—
Let us live right between these two!
Even if tomorrow's future turns against us,
Do not part ways, do not get lost.
சிறு பார்வை.....
